2. Polystyrene Floater boards
3. Reservoir or tank to house the solution
4. Growing Medium
A deep water culture system is pretty similar to a standard flood and drain system, a tank is filled with a premixed solution, the plants are sat in a pot with a
medium for support and to absorb the solution.The pots are inserted into a polystyrene floater board which keeps the pot floating on the solution rather than
sitting on a tray or gulley. Smaller growers would empty the tank manually periodically but larger growers would adapt the flood and drain system to automate
the delivery and drainage system. An air pump is defiantly needed in this system as the roots tend to be totally submerged within the solution so will struggle for
oxygen, as we will see later on oxygen is vital to all growth whether its hydro or soil based.
